    Chirping sound while turning

    I had a similar experience about a year or two ago. I isolated it to my brake caliper clips on the lower part of the calipers. I read about it on these forums. I used silicone bicycle stanchion spray on them until I was able to get it into the dealer and they replaced all my calipers and pads...

    Push Button Problem with a new twist

    Mine wouldn't start that way. Why I don't know. I'm just reporting a fact from first hand experience. The only way I was able to fix mine was a tow to the dealer. They diagnosed it almost immediately, had the part in stock, replaced it and I was all fixed up rather quickly.

    Push Button Problem with a new twist

    This is the second thread I have I seen with what could end up being a "partial" failure of the RF hub. FYI mine failed completely with no water intrusion but my symptoms were nothing worked key fob wise and had to have it towed to dealer where it was quickly diagnosed as RF hub and replaced...

    2020 RAM 1500 not responding to key fobs, but will still start start and do keyless door handle unlock.

    Interesting how these hubs fail in different ways. Mine was way more catastrophic than yours. Nothing worked (and I mean nothing) and I had to have it towed to the dealer. Immediately diagnosed as RF Hub, but no water intrusion, just failed. I have no rear window water leak. They replaced...

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    The part is inexpensive. I think it was around $100 on my repair invoice. Maybe you can DIY? However I think you have to get a dealer to reprogram your keys to the new hub. And I am sure that is expensive. They may also claim you can't reprogram your original fobs to the new hub which is...

    Key Fob Not Responding and Truck Won't Start - Possible Water Damage?

    It is your RF Hub. I went through this and had no water leak, it just failed. Good news was it was covered under my extended warranty as were two key fobs. I now have 4 key fobs as they were able to program my original keys and the new ones to the new RF hub.

Again LEAVE THE TRUCK ALONE Everything should be reset...

    passenger led fog light out

    This is covered under your factory warranty. I had some exterior lighting issues under warranty, and they fixed them. It turned out to be something called a body module in my case. Fog light was out, but also some headlight marker and DRL tubes. All on left side.

    Leak damage!!!

    I think maybe hydrogen peroxide will kill the mold and mildew and get rid of the smell? But I'm not sure how you would get it everywhere it would have to go. Like soaking the carpet with it? Could be a tough DIY. When I had a water leak in my house that caused mold under my carpet on the...

    Leather dash lifting and bubbling

    I don't think it is heat or UV that causes the surface to un-adhere. I think it is the application of cleaners. I used Mopar cleaner on the dash when it was new, to clean it, many times. It was after that it started to delaminate. My new replaced dash I decided to not use any "solvent" type...

    Leather dash lifting and bubbling

    Had mine replaced for delamination under warranty. The new one seems to be glued on much better as it hasn't delaminated. Its been in there a year and a half now. The dealer did a great job, no rattles, looks like new, but is lasting better than new.

    HELP! - Limited DRL LED Accent Light Not Working Only On Drive Side

    Check this post of mine from May 2022 while still under 3/36. Headlight was replaced under warranty which didn't fix the problem. But they left it in and fixed the real problem which was the body module. So headlight WAS covered in my case. Had a bunch of warranty work done: headlight...

    Chrome bumpers, grilles, and mirrors still? & LEDs over Hallogen? Yuck.

    Your first observation is spot on. Color matched bumpers are in and have been for many years now. I think only pick up trucks and semis have chrome as an option these days. As for LED lights, this tech is where you want to be. They are brighter, safer (i.e. instant on-off brakelights), and...

    Ongoing "Wi-Fi connected, no internet" issues

    I canceled mine also. Only "regret" I have is no more Pandora radio which I really enjoyed. But I am so done with AT&T as a company. I have a 50GB per month hotspot included with my new T-Mobile service to replace the car wifi and I can still bluetooth stream Pandora through my phone if I...

    Oil Puddle in Garage

    I put a large ziplock bag around my filter when removing and not a drop spills on the vehicle. Dealer and quick change oil places probably not as careful as you would be.
